Post-collapse opportunity for the youth of the world – EL4DEV and the Green Empire of the East
and the West – Paul Elvere DELSART

I am Paul Elvere DELSART. Through the EL4DEV program, I propose an entirely new vision of societal
and civilizational development. My ambition is to bring together the youth of the world around deeply
meaningful, participatory and transformative projects. I see youth as the keystone of global change, the
driving force capable of bringing forth a new order based on collective intelligence, shared responsibility
and ethical innovation.
The EL4DEV program, which I lead, is not merely a series of initiatives or experimental infrastructures. It
is a true systemic architecture, designed to generate dynamics of decentralized cooperation through
inclusive and participatory mechanisms. I provide a set of tools and structures that allow young people
to become direct agents of transformation within their societies. This is a call to co-create a future that
respects life, culture and spiritual values, breaking away from the dominant paradigms of consumption
and competition.
The Green Empire of the East and the West, which I conceptualized and symbolically lead under the
pseudonym Henry HARPER, the Green Emperor of the East and the West, is a civilizational projection,
a form of modern renaissance. It is neither a political empire nor an abstract utopia. It is a societal
Confederation, a global network of places created by projects; places that are both real and symbolic,
where innovation, cooperation, societal diplomacy and ecological resilience are expressed. This
intellectual, ecological, spiritual and highly enterprising Empire is a work of social fiction in service of
reality, a transdisciplinary lever of action meant to inspire and unite.
I invite young people to take part in unique collaborative engineering projects such as the experimental
eco-landscape cities and complexes labeled LE PAPILLON SOURCE or the Vegetal Calderas, which
are true vertical vegetated infrastructures generating biodiversity, humidity in arid zones and
electromagnetic fields beneficial to life. These are immersive learning spaces, living laboratories of
applied research, agroecological production, educational tourism and intercultural and artistic
cooperation. They are meant to become international references in territorial innovation, ethical
governance and local autonomy.
Youth are not simply invited to visit or consume these spaces. They are called to design them, manage
them and make them evolve. Thanks to the collaborative platforms of the EL4DEV program integrated
into the information system named Big Smart Data EL4DEV, everyone can contribute to the creation of
a global collective intelligence. I encourage self-organization, the interconnection of talents, and the
construction of a new global civil society governed by a participatory and emerging social contract.
The intermunicipal cooperation sub-program called THE MUNICIPALITIES COUNTER-ATTACK,
integrated into the EL4DEV program, offers young people the opportunity to revitalize their territories of
origin, especially neglected rural areas, by enhancing small municipalities through participatory,
structuring and solidarity-based projects. It is about enabling young people to think globally while acting
locally, helping them to reclaim their future while ensuring that of future generations.
I firmly believe that the Mediterranean area, the spiritual and historical heart of many civilizations, can
once again become the cradle of a new globalization, more human, more united, and oriented toward
co-evolution. This is why I chose to make this space the starting point of the Green Empire of the East
and the West. The small coastal municipality of Torreblanca, Castellón in the Valencian autonomous
