Despite initial difficulties and the failure of decisions in the field of procurement (only 6.3% of the amount allocated by the complex bureaucratic mechanism required to implement the contribution was spent), the application has grown over the years, so it has become a model abroad (above all France). From the first edition to the present day, about 1.6 million young people who have spent over 730 million euros on culture have registered for the 18app smartphone app, which was created specifically to use credit. Of this number, 83% was spent on books, 14% on concerts and music, and the remaining 3% on other cultural expenses. However, the money can be invested in music and drama courses, foreign languages, museums and newspaper subscriptions, even in digital form.

Fimi launches campaign to buy recorded music

A new viral fimi campaign to purchase recorded music with a 500 euro cultural bonus is underway, starting today from the edition dedicated to those born in 2002. The campaign continues to engage eighteen-year-old boys for the third year in a row – and the group’s target parents – through a variation on Facebook, Instagram and Dictoc, inviting you to buy music from your favorite artists, from vinyl to subscriptions to streaming sites. The involvement of two young influencers, who thanked the Dictoc site in the second phase, increases the chances of finding and using the voucher. Music is one of the most important cultural costs for 16-24 year olds: the purchase of recorded music in four editions has actually doubled, from 13 million euros in the first edition (2017) to 22 million in 2020, a total of 76 million euros spent on recorded music in four years, with hundreds of thousands of children enrolled in the program.
