English term or phrase: give you a sense
Aparentmente esta es una pregunta de principiantes, pero tengo mis dudas con respecto al significado exacto de sense en este contexto: ¿se trata de "sensación" o de "sentido"?

"To give you a sense of this new way of seeing (and being) democracy, here are just nine of its many dimensions, along with hints of how they are already changing lives. "

De momento tengo esto:

"Para dar sentido a esta nueva forma de ver (y ser) de la democracia, acto seguido presentamos tan solo nueve de sus muchas dimensiones, junto con sugerencias de cómo estas ya están cambiando vidas"
