According to data from the Ministry of Culture, the number of beneficiaries of the cultural voucher rose from 3,521 in 2023 to 9,554 in 2025. In total, between 2023 and 2025, 17,350 young people took part in the programme.
The new proposal provides for young people to be able to decide how to use the full amount of 2,000 lei, without a mandatory split between culture and sport. The money could be used for sports services, sports equipment and goods, as well as for taking part in sporting events and activities.
“We do not want to artificially split the amount. One young person may use the entire 2,000 lei on culture, whilst another may use it all on sport. The choice is theirs,” said Potîrniche.
The voucher would be awarded, as is currently the case, to young people turning 18 and could be used for 12 months from their date of birth.
The first round of public consultations is scheduled for 5 October at 2.00 pm in the Europa Hall of Parliament. Young people, relevant organisations, sports federations and clubs, representatives of the cultural sector, public authorities and service providers are invited to take part in the discussions.
