Spanish term or phrase: Interculturalidad

These "idad"s are always difficult, I find...

this one appears in the following sentences:

"– Fruto de esta nueva realidad han surgido nuevos perfiles profesionales, en su mayoría relacionados con la atención de población inmigrante como son la Atención a la Interculturalidad, Didáctica de la lengua castellana para mujeres inmigrantes y Tutor/a de inserción sociolaboral de la población inmigrante"

"– Difusión de las actuaciones a través de diferentes canales desde la perspectiva de la interculturalidad (prensa, cartelería, redes formales e informales, folletos y dossieres, etc"

Many thanks for your help - I need it, as this is a particularly waffly worded one of 6000 words! (extra points for demonstrating sympathy)
:-)

Atención a la Interculturalidad Multicultural Services

Explanation:
It sounds like a particular arena of service provision is being referred to, and I don't think the use of "intercultural" is particularly common in English. "Multiculcultural," however, is something of a buzz word.

Suerte.

Hi, a small comment

I don't think an "ism" such as interculturalism is theoretically correct within your context...
"ism's" are more vague concepts IMHO...
