Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining cultural (relating to a society's arts, customs, and norms) with exchange (the act of giving and receiving); together they predictably denote sharing of cultural ideas and practices. This noun-noun composition follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase cultural exchange gives a clear image: people from different places swapping parts of their life, such as food, songs, or stories. Because they are making an exchange of cultural things, it means 'a process where people share ideas, traditions, and customs'.
