Starting next year, Germany will offer 18-year-olds €200 stipends to use at museums, concerts, and other cultural venues:
The project was introduced in a joint press conference between the country’s culture minister, Claudia Roth, and the minister of finance, Christian Lindner, on November 11—one day after it was approved by the German Bundestag’s budget committee.
“We want to get young people excited about the diversity of culture in our country,” Roth said at the event. Another catalyst for the program, the culture minister explained, is jump-starting the country’s cultural economy, which is still recovering from the crippling effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To fund the new initiative, the budget committee has earmarked €100 million, which will be taken from the budget of the culture and media ministry. Should the pilot program be successful, lawmakers will look to extend the project beyond 2023, possibly opening it up to people aged 15 to 17 as well.
