About Colvarion

We help people ask better questions and craft truthful, resonant narratives. Our programs blend practice with ethics rooted in Canadian standards.

Our Story

Origins

Colvarion began as a newsroom workshop series—now a full curriculum for creators, journalists, and nonprofit researchers across Canada.

Method

We combine pre-interview mapping, rapport-building, and transcript structuring into an actionable system with checklists and rubrics.

Impact

Graduates report faster turnarounds, stronger quotes, and safer conversations around sensitive topics.

Values

Adjust how much each value shapes our curriculum and see the impact statement update in real time.
