English term or phrase: new term
アメリカの学生が途上国でギャップイヤーを取得する、ということについて書かれた文書の中に以下のような文章が出てくるのですが、new termの訳語がわかりません。

In most cases in the developing world, this may be a new term and so the organization may have to have a hand stitching projects together with values, but these larger visions should be shared not only with the communities, but also the students as a matter of educating.

ここでのvisionは、アメリカ人が足を運ぶ地域が持つビジョンのことを指します。
文脈から判断すると「新しい状況」のような言葉が適切だと思うのですが、termはそのようなニュアンスが含まれている語ではないと思うので、判断できず困っております。

agree  David Gibney: Though I agree "term" means 用語, in this context "concept" makes much more sense.

新しい価値観念


Explanation:
"new term"の語彙には、全体の文章より観ますと、発展途上国社会を”啓蒙”する行為が含まれると、考えます。その社会に住む人たちにとって、それは全く新しい考え方にもとずく生活行動,と解釈されます。
