Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
French term or phrase: séquences
From a business training seminar:

"Les accompagnants travailleront en séquences interactives où alterneront des activités, des temps d’échanges pour la reprise des séquences".

Can this be translated as "sessions", as "sequences" seems rather odd in English?

Explanation:
I'm with you, I think a sequence sounds odd. If you say "interactive sessions alternating activities with feedback" or similar, I think it will sound more natural.

Grading comment
I accept that "sequences" does exist, but I prefer "sessions", certainly in a UK context.

Many thanks to all!
