Drawing on ICCS 2016 data, linear regression models and weighted group comparisons were employed to analyse key dimensions of active citizenship: expected political participation, gender and ethnic equality orientations, national attachment, and trust in democratic institutions.The findings indicate that several statistically significant differences exist between the groups. Students with an immigrant background report lower expectations of electoral participation and weaker national attachment. Differences also emerge in equality orientations, with lower support for gender equality but stronger endorsement of ethnic equality. No statistically significant differences were identified in trust in democratic institutions. Although some differences reached statistical significance, effect sizes remain small, suggesting limited substantive divergence between the groups.The study advances discussions on civic integration and inclusion in contexts of increasing migratory diversity and underscores the role of schools as central educational spaces for the development of active citizenshipTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaMednarodna fakulteta za družbene in poslovne študije Celje
