The problem is that, while English sometimes uses movement to mean "a group of people with a common goal", it does not, at present, use movement to mean "a series of actions to be taken to achieve that goal". So, an organization of hikers might be termed a movement, but the routes along which they are encouraged to hike would not be termed a movement. After all, the hikers (and the people organizing the hikers) are the ones moving in both the physical and metaphorical senses. The routes themselves take no action. This tag is more likely to be understood by English-speakers if you use a less literal translation. -- John F.
