Do you really know? Why are young people in Berlin being paid to party?
Have you ever really wanted to have a night out, but felt you just couldn’t justify spending all that money? I magine you could hit up your city’s biggest nightlife venues, courtesy of the local authorities. Well that’s becoming a reality for young people in the German capital of Berlin.
Residents aged 18-23 have until the end of February to sign up for the new “Jugendkulturkarte”. It comes loaded with €50 worth of credit that can be used by the end of April. It’s valid on museum visits, cinema screenings and concert tickets for example. Many cities run similar schemes, but what makes the Berlin “Jugendkulturkarte” unique is that the Senate Department for Culture and Europe decided that 9 nightclubs should be eligible too.
How did nightclubs end up on a list of cultural venues? Why is techno so important? What is the cultural significance of techno? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
