15 hrs confidence:

from the most local to national (and international) society

Explanation:
I like your own idea of "grassroots to top levels of society" but I get the impression from this context that it is more a physical thing of actual distance especially since they mention "una formación sólida en idiomas".

en la transformación positiva de la sociedad, desde la más próxima a la más lejana.
in the tranformation not just of local society but on the national (and international) stage as well

So, I presume the graduates are expected not just to have an impact on local and national society but on the global stage as well...

"international" could be omitted if you feel from the wider context it is not warranted.

La verdad es que en el contexto, la frase tiene un sentido un poco borroso....pero, sólo se puede referir a la Sociedad....desde la más próxima a la más lejana (las distintas sociedades de donde provengan los alumnos).
