German school to dole out 3 'idleness grants' of $1.9K each
Getting a university grant sometimes requires an extraordinary amount of work. In this case, not so much. The University of Fine Arts in Hamburg, Germany, is handing out three "idleness grants" of $1,900 each, reports UPI. The name is accurate: The university will pay four people to do nothing. And to get the grants, participants must make the case that their particular version of nothing is worth it. “Doing nothing isn’t very easy,” Friedrich von Borries, an architect and design theorist behind the program, tells the Guardian.
