Today in France, many young people in vulnerable situations have limited or unequal access to culture and heritage. This is the societal challenge that TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation has decided to tackle, by helping young people gain access to art and culture in all shapes and forms. These actions involve shining the spotlight on rich, diverse and living cultures.
TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation works to ensure access to culture for as many people as possible, to foster equal opportunities and build a fairer and more sustainable society. To give everyone access to culture, TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation supports players who play an active role across the regions as well as art and cultural education projects nationwide, which develop young people’s ability to take action and play an active role in society.
For TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation professional inclusion, young people and regional appeal are at the heart of its commitment, through 3 main courses of action:
- Preserving and promoting heritage buildings, through restoration projects that catalyze professional integration.
- Supporting artistic creativity with a social impact, by and for young people, through art education programs.
- Promoting cultural diversity to help people reach out to one another.

Promoting cultural diversity to help people reach out to one another
Making access to culture easier for everyone and encouraging open-mindedness when it comes to cultural activities are two of the priorities at TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation. Culture helps broaden horizons, strengthens harmony in diversity and is a source of independence and fulfillment. And because access to culture is one of the mainstays of equal opportunities, TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation encourages initiatives to help young people in vulnerable situations.
To this end, TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation supports major exhibitions that promote cultural dialogue, encourage cultural exchange, and in which the mediation actions and educational tools are designed and created with young people in mind.
