Upcoming Events & Speaking Engagements
Season 2 of The DEeP Table Continues!
Join us for thought-provoking conversations about race, diversity, and inclusion, including the premiere of "Echoes 2004" documentary.
🎬 ECHOES 2004 - Documentary Premiere
Twenty years ago, a vote changed lives. For some, it was politics. For others, it was personal.
The 2004 referendum didn't just amend the Constitution — it reshaped belonging, identity, and the meaning of Irishness for generations.
Echoes 2004 is a documentary which revisits that moment through history, lived experience, and honest reflection. It asks us not only what happened — but how it felt, who it affected, and how its consequences still echo today.
Twenty years on, we pause. To remember. To reflect. To reckon.
History doesn't stay in the past. It echoes.

Register for Premiere📊 First Annual Report - National Action Plan Against Racism (NAPAR)
The First Year Progress Report of Ireland's National Action Plan Against Racism (NAPAR) has been launched, marking a significant milestone in Ireland's commitment to addressing racism through coordinated, cross-government action.
As Special Rapporteur on Racial Equality and Racism in Ireland, Dr. Ebun Joseph states:
"NAPAR represents a significant commitment by the State to recognise racism as systemic and to address it through coordinated, cross-government action. The first-year report provides an important opportunity to assess what has been delivered so far, where progress is evident, and where gaps remain."
"Monitoring implementation matters. Anti-racism requires more than intent — it demands transparency, accountability, and sustained political will, particularly for communities who continue to experience racism in their daily lives."
The report contains a review of progress on 2024/25 actions and objectives of the National Action Plan Against Racism (NAPAR) 2023-2027 and makes recommendations to address challenges in implementation.

Topic: "Love Across Difference"
Can love exist without racism in mixed-race or mixed-ethnicity relationships — or does it simply show up differently? In this Valentine's week conversation, we explore intimacy, power, family, culture when race enters romantic relationships.
Watch EpisodeEpisode 03 — Wednesday 18 February
Topic: "The Cost of Silence"
"Talking about racism just keeps it going." But what happens when we don't talk about it at all? This episode explores the personal, professional, and societal costs of silence — and why speaking up is essential for real change.

Are Microaggressions Really Racism?
All-Female Panel Discussion — When Racism and Sexism Intersect
Are microaggressions just awkward moments — or are they the everyday way racism survives? We're asking if microaggression is systemic racism or just "bad behaviour," and what gets missed when we ignore the systems behind it. We'll discuss how microaggression operates and the impact it has on people's lives.

- The unique workplace challenges faced by women of colour
- How stereotypes are gendered AND racialised
