Screening of the film (IN)ACTION: understanding barriers in order to take action more effectively
A film shedding light on the mechanisms behind inaction
Broadcast by Ushuaïa TV and award-winning, (IN)ACTION is part of a nationwide tour. Through the story of an “ordinary family facing a global challenge,” the documentary explores the psychological, social, and cultural factors that hinder climate engagement.
Far from adopting a guilt-inducing tone, the film offers a nuanced analysis of our everyday contradictions. It shows how inaction is not simply the result of a lack of individual willpower, but is rooted in broader collective mechanisms: social norms, feelings of helplessness, diffusion of responsibility, and the difficulty of grasping long-term consequences.
The screening, organized onsite at Artelia’s Saint-Ouen offices and accessible remotely, brought together more than 300 employees from various professions and business units. The discussion with the director provided an opportunity to further explore these issues and compare perspectives.
A commitment that goes beyond the screening
This initiative is part of the Artelia Foundation’s broader approach to creating spaces for reflection and dialogue around environmental and societal challenges.
Beyond the screening itself, the objective is to encourage deeper reflection: fostering a better understanding of the barriers to action in order to identify the levers for change at every level — individual, collective, and organizational.
Further initiatives will soon continue this reflection and help support the transition from awareness to action.
