Is there a reason for naming your website same as EU programme for education, training, youth and sport?
I mean, Erasmus is a pretty well-known historical figure (and where, I assume, that programme gets its name)
That’s where my mind went first.
Turns out we’re both wrong and it’s just OP’s name like he said in the other comment, but I’m curious how you made that connection? Not passing any judgement on it, just curious since your brain reached a different conclusion than mine and I’m curious how you got there.
I knew a couple of people who studied in continental Europe under the Erasmus scheme before Brexit, and the far right were always claiming during the referendum campaign that the EU would never chuck the UK out of anything because we’re so awesome and they need us and our money so much. Turns out there’s a limit to how much a club misses its most loudly critical influential member.
So amongst Europhile Brits, Erasmus means young people’s opportunities to study abroad first, and name from history that it honours second. I might not have heard of Erasmus if it weren’t for the Erasmus scheme, and I had to check just now whether he was a historical figure or someone from Greek mythology. Awesome surname for a person in real life to have, though.
I rolled into it few months ago and am getting ready for a exchange trip to Spain so it got burned into my brain by now.

The name has been in my family far longer than that program has existed, so the way I see it, if anything, they are copying me xD
