Our Story
Dalverina was founded to help creators ask better questions and honor the people behind their stories. We combine field-tested method, cultural awareness, and clear frameworks for ethical interviewing in the Canadian media landscape.
Mission
To elevate story interviewing with practical tools, compassionate rigor, and transparent standards—so audiences trust what they hear and read.
Years mentoring interviewers
Our Approach
- Clarity-first teaching, no fluff.
- Practice-driven drills and peer feedback.
- Consent, trauma-informed practices, and fact-checking built in.
- Canadian case studies spanning provinces and contexts.
History
Dalverina began as a volunteer workshop series in Halifax, focusing on community radio interviewing.
Expanded cross-province with a cohort model and a shared rubric for ethical consent.
Brought remote-first coaching with bilingual resources and trauma-informed interviewing modules.
Launched the Ethics Pledge framework for transparent collaboration across newsrooms and studios.
Team Philosophy
We challenge assumptions without attacking people. Questions are scalpels, not swords.
Consent is a process, not a checkbox—before, during, and after the interview.
