<div>Ireland is having conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion, acceptance and belonging — but too often they’re safe, surface-level, or happening without the people most affected in the room.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The <strong>DEeP Table </strong>was created to change that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The <strong>DEeP Table</strong> is a public conversation series that brings together lived experience, policy insight, community wisdom, and professional expertise — at the same table. It is a space for honesty, complexity, and learning without defensiveness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After a powerful first season, we’re now building Series 2 — a 24-episode programme, delivered across four themed series, each made up of six carefully curated episodes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make this possible, we’re asking for your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why The DEeP Table Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign supports a community-led public education series focused on equity, inclusion, and lived experience in Ireland.
</div>
<div>The DEeP Table <strong>creates space</strong> for conversations that:
</div>
<div>•	centre marginalised and racialised voices
</div>
<div>•	move beyond buzzwords to real understanding
</div>
<div>•	challenge myths, silences, and denial
</div>
<div>•	support organisations and communities to do better
</div>
<div>•	build collective responsibility, not individual blame
</div>
<div>The DEeP Table is <strong>fundamentally about</strong>:
</div>
<div>•	public learning and critical dialogue
</div>
<div>•	informal education outside classrooms
</div>
<div>•	knowledge-sharing across lived experience, policy, and practice
</div>
<div>•	building understanding around race, equity, power, acceptance and belonging
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These are not panel discussions for applause — they are facilitated, reflective, and impact-focused conversations that people carry back into their workplaces, classrooms, communities, and institutions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What We’re Raising Funds For</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each DEeP Table episode costs €1,600 to produce.
</div>
<div>This covers:
</div>
<div>•	Venue hire, accessibility supports,  refreshments, 
</div>
<div>•	Technical production (audio, visuals, recording, live streaming, video edits, hybrid format)
</div>
<div>•	Speaker facilitation and care
</div>
<div>•	Promotion and community outreach
</div>
<div>•	Documentation and learning resources
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For 24 episodes, the total cost is €38,500.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This funding ensures the series remains accessible, ethical, and rooted in community, rather than driven by corporate agendas or pay-to-play participation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Crowdfunding</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe conversations about justice, dignity, and belonging should not be limited by who can pay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By crowdfunding Series 2:
</div>
<div>•	we keep events free or low-cost
</div>
<div>•	we protect the integrity of the conversations
</div>
<div>•	we ensure community access
</div>
<div>•	we remain accountable to people, not profit
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution — no matter the size — helps keep the table open.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>•	Donate what you can
</div>
<div>•	Share this campaign with your networks
</div>
<div>•	Attend an episode when the series launches
</div>
<div>•	Invite your organisation to sponsor an episode or series
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If 385 people donate €100 — or 770 donate €50 — 3850 people donate €10 or even the gift of 10000 coffees –€3.85 we reach our goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Commitment to You</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We commit to:
</div>
<div>•	transparency about how funds are used
</div>
<div>•	honouring the trust you place in us
</div>
<div>•	amplifying voices often unheard
</div>
<div>•	continuing to build a brave, respectful, and transformative space
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The DEeP Table exists because people believe conversations matter.
</div>
<div>Series 2 will exist because people like you helped make it possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting this work — and for helping us keep the table open.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
