ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Othmane Fatnassi
Founder, Eloquium
Set the Standard. Let everyone else debate for second place.
Ten years ago, I searched everywhere for debating opportunities in Marrakech: clubs, programs, anything. I found nothing.
For a while, I thought that was just the price of growing up here. Eventually I stopped waiting and built what I couldn't find.
My name is Othmane Fatnassi. I'm a 5th-year medical student and the founder of Eloquium, and yes, I know that combination raises eyebrows.
Medicine taught me something coaching programs generally miss: you diagnose before you prescribe. Before you can help someone communicate better, you need to understand exactly where they're breaking down.
In 2023, I founded the Public Speaking Club at my faculty and led it for two years as founding president. Hundreds of members and multiple national titles later, it showed me what was possible when you actually take things seriously.
But a faculty club has limits. So in 2024, I built something with no ceiling.
Eloquium is for the ones who understand that thinking clearly and speaking powerfully is a rare edge, and that like any edge worth having, it takes real work to develop.
That's the standard we train to. Mastery, full stop. If that standard resonates, you're in the right place!

"If I had to describe the Eloquium camp in one word, then it would be “rich”, rich in terms of atmosphere, as it was all but dull, with its perfect mix of competition and friendliness, rich in terms of advancement, as everyone there had single-handedly toppled their fears, rich in terms of drive, as the air was filled with the will to debate, the will to set the standard.”
