The importance of consensus social movements consists in the creation of new cultural orientations based on the principles of humanism and universal values, and the way they catalyse the process of a new state of ‘social aggregation’ and strive to gain control over historicity by actively taking part in structuring the global world. They mark a path of constructive social involvement, both on an individual and communal plane. The essential activity of consensus social movements is promoting a new culture ‒ i.e. lifestyles which constitute an alternative to those in the mainstream ‒ as well as concrete action for social change. Such movements consist mainly consists of “work at the base”, i.e. activity at the most fundamental human level. One of the specific characteristics of consensus movements, which sets them apart from different movements, is the fact that social mobilization in this case is not based on conflict; it is geared toward constructive action. The Focolare Movement has existed since the 1940s. It is present in 182 countries and has over 2 million members and adherents, mainly Catholics, but also about 50 thousand members of other denominations and about 30 thousand followers of other religions as well as about 70 thousand non-believers. They get together, despite their differences, and engage in solving social problems on every level – global, international, local and interpersonal.

This article introduces the Czech version of the General Ethnicity Questionnaire (GEQ), which is designed to measure majority and minority cultural orientation. Cultural orientation includes different ways of behaving in various life domains (i.e. language use, eating habits, media preferences, or relationships) and attitudes (cultural pride and preference). The questionnaire was administered to two groups of Vietnamese living in the Czech Republic. The second-generation group (N = 279) is made up of ethnic Vietnamese who were born in the Czech Republic and the 1.5-generation group (N = 119) is formed by ethnic Vietnamese born in Vietnam who came to the Czech Republic before they were 12 years old. Using Principal Component Analysis a more complex (six-factor) structure of Czech cultural orientation and a simpler (four-factor) structure of Vietnamese cultural orientation were extracted. The research revealed that the second generation is less oriented towards Vietnamese culture than members of the 1.5 generation, but the degree of orientation towards Czech culture is the same for both groups, and both groups are also oriented more towards Czech culture than Vietnamese culture. A comparison of cultural domains shows that Vietnamese from both generations have a better knowledge of the Czech language than the Vietnamese language, and they claimed to have more contact with Czechs than with Vietnamese people, but both generations also indicated that they were prouder of their Vietnamese cultural heritage than of Czech culture. The results of the research indicate that the Vietnamese from our research sample are successfully adapting to life in the Czech Republic.
