Oskar Samuel Rebane and Karl Toom will be representing Tartu at EUDC 2026.
We asked them what debating means to them and why they decided to attend this year’s championship.
Oskar:
“When it comes to personal achievements, I’ve always preferred unexplored challenges over retracing familiar ground. EUDC feels like the natural next step in my debating journey: after achieving what I aimed for nationally, it is time to test myself on an international stage.
And, to be honest, I also couldn’t say no when Karl first brought up the idea.”
Karl:
“Debating gives me the opportunity to challenge myself intellectually and engage with questions that rarely arise in everyday life. It also connects me with friends who are very important to me, and the moments we have shared through debating have made it something of lasting value.
For me, debating is more than a hobby or competition, it is something that will stay with me for a long time.”
