DYPA launches 2026 book voucher program in Greece

The Greek Public Employment Service (DYPA) has launched its 2026 book voucher program, starting September 1, 2026. The initiative aims to support book purchases through a total budget of 3.75 million euros.

A total of 150,000 vouchers have been issued, each valued at 25 euros, including VAT. Instead of physical paper, beneficiaries receive a unique electronic code to be used at participating retailers. The program is scheduled to run for four months, with all vouchers needing to be redeemed by December 31, 2026.

Currently, the network includes 818 participating bookstores and publishing houses, though this number may increase as more providers join the registry. Beneficiaries can check the final lists of eligible and excluded individuals on the official DYPA website.
