The Social Democratic Party wants in its shadow budget to give 750 million kronor more to culture than the government.

In total, the Social Democratic Party's culture budget amounts to just over 18 billion kronor. Among the initiatives is a new allocation of 300 million kronor intended for a cultural guarantee for children and young people.

"It should be easy to participate in and practice culture. Therefore, we want to begin the introduction of a cultural guarantee in school, so that all children can experience culture, regardless of the size of their parents' wallet. With a cultural guarantee, all students are guaranteed to go to a concert, visit a museum, see a movie or attend a concert every term", says Björn Wiechel, the party's cultural policy spokesperson in a press release.

Among the party's other initiatives in the cultural area are increased allocations to study associations of 350 million kronor and grants for regional cultural activities of 100 million.
