Swedish term or phrase: varvas
Hi! What does "varvas" translate into in this specific context? Can you confirm that "praktikfall" means "practical case/example"? Thanks in advance.

Under en fullspäckad dag varvas expertföreläsningar med inspirerande praktikfall.

agree  Deane Goltermann: I'll agree with your if you agree with mine! ;-) 'alternating with' or 'interspersed with'... Well... your view of varva is too narrow... esp. in this context.

  -> With deep regret I can't agree - intersperse "scatter among or between other things; place here and there" but varva is first one, then the other - alternate :)!.
