Berlin is giving young people €50, or $53, to go out and enjoy the city's cultural venues and events, per a press release from the Senate Department for Culture and Europe.

Starting from February 1, Berlin youths aged between 18 and 23 can sign up for a Jugendkulturkarte, or youth culture card, that comes with credits that can be spent at 200 venues across the city.

This includes theaters, museums, and even nightclubs.

Some of the clubs that are part of this initiative include Gretchen, a nightclub that's located in former Prussian military stables, as well as Schwuz, one of Germany's oldest queer clubs, according to an Instagram post by the Berlin Club Commission.

The scheme was first announced by Klaus Lederer, Senator for Culture and Europe, in December.

"Participation in art and culture for all Berliners is very important to me. The youth culture card for 18 to 23-year-olds is aimed at a young audience who are just getting to know Berlin's diverse cultural landscape after the restrictions of recent years," Lederer said at a conference in December, per the press release.

The Berlin authorities also hope that this initiative can help revitalize the city's entertainment and cultural venues, Lederer said. Lederer did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Eligible youths can register for the card online and pick their cards up in public libraries until February 28. The €50 credits are valid until April 30.
