Generation Z - El Salvador-Torreblanca global pact - Book Summary

Subtitle: The 300 of Elon MUSK, Nayib BUKELE and Elena BERBERANA

Generation Z - When an international conference transforms Torreblanca, Castellón and El Salvador into
laboratories of a new civilization and anchoring points of a new geopolitics

A wind of transformation is blowing over the small Mediterranean municipality of Torreblanca and the Central
American capital San Salvador. This unprecedented movement, initiated by the multidisciplinary participatory
engineering program EL4DEV, brought together 300 young people from Generation Z who came from dozens of
countries in the Spanish speaking world and its cultural peripheries for what presents itself as a global
Renaissance.
The book recounts with intensity this collective experience that blends utopia, civic engagement, raw emotion and
geopolitical visions. At the heart of this experience are three public figures, Elon MUSK, Nayib BUKELE and Elena
BERBERANA, whose interventions provoke an emotional and political shift among the participants.
We witness a conference that transforms into a planetary movement.
The book opens in Torreblanca, Spain, where Carmen ORTIZ, the 30 year old mayor of the municipality, and Laura
BODIS, a 22 year old Torreblanca resident, prepare an unprecedented conference. Their objective is to unite
Torreblanca and El Salvador in order to turn them into two pilot territories, living laboratories capable of testing
new social, ecological and collaborative forms.
Three days later, in San Salvador, the 300 young guests discover an immersive staging with holograms, interactive
installations, historical friezes of the EL4DEV program, prototypes of future cities and booths presenting ecological
innovations. The magical and epic atmosphere evokes the beginning of an epic rather than that of a simple
congress.
The Spanish journalist Elena BERBERANA, chosen to host the event, sets the tone from the opening: “Today, we did
not come to listen to a conference. We came to witness the birth of a new world.” Her role quickly goes beyond that of
a presenter; she becomes a guiding voice, a sensitive and lucid witness to the emotional transformation of the
youth.
At the heart of the conference a decisive moment occurs. First comes the intervention of Henry HARPER, a visionary
intellectual behind the EL4DEV program, who greets Generation Z as the first civilizational architects of their time.
Then the screens turn off and the room plunges into darkness. Two logos appear, SpaceX, Tesla, and the turquoise
emblem of the Republic of El Salvador.
Elon MUSK appears live, sober and almost vulnerable. He confides that he has been following everything since the
morning. He tells the young people: “You are the brightest, most collaborative generation I have seen. What you are
creating here is more important than Mars. You are creating a civilization, and I want to be part of it.”
His announcement triggers an explosion of screams and tears. But he goes further: “I want us to start solving
humanity’s problems together, here in El Salvador, then in Torreblanca. From this moment on.”
The commitment is unexpected and places the conference within an international and technological dimension.
Barely has Elon MUSK’s screen turned off when a second one lights up. The Salvadoran president Nayib BUKELE
appears, not behind a massive desk, but sitting outdoors facing the mountains. His presence is simple, almost fraternal.
