Teaching approaches in pluricultural contexts
From an article about different types of citizenship in different countries in relation to teaching.I know what this means, but can't think of a decent way to express it in English.
"Además de observarse correlaciones significativas entre ciudadanía y competencia pluricultural, la reivindicación ciudadana independiente del poder político presenta una importancia ligeramente mayor en el caso español."

| Civil rights is usually "derechos civiles", so I hadn't considered that, as the article is mainly about education in different countries, but it's an interesting point and I'll take it into account, cheers. |

| "Demands" might seem a bit bolshie to some readers because the context is more about education than placard waving, but it's always an option, thanks :) |

The French did not invent the concept of 'citizenry'. I concede, however, that the concept of civil society has replaced that of citizenry these days.
