Morphology
The meaning 'a group effort promoting cultural values' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'cultural' (relating to a society's arts and customs) + 'movement' (a collective pursuing shared goals). This is a common and literal noun-noun/adj-noun combination found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand the MWE.
Etymology
Cultural movement comes from the picture of people coming together and moving to share new art and ideas: cultural means shared art and beliefs, and movement is a group that moves for a purpose. So it means people working together to 'change' or spread new cultural ideas.
