At BT we're committed to communication - a skill that's probably the most vital of all. Being an effective communicator lies at the heart of being a great student, parent, employee and citizen. This is the reason we are determined to make absolutely sure that the UK's young people have the opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills and get the best possible start in life.

A great deal of research has indicated that having the ability to express yourself properly, and with equal clarity to understand what others say to you is a fundamental enabling skill of life. Having good interpersonal communication skills is certainly coupled with physical and mental health, socially desirable behaviour, educational attainment, and at the end of the day, job prospects. The result is that this is a good place to further your exploration*.

Research, however, also shows that the requirement to bolster the acquisition of communication skills is more important today than at any other time in history. A number of causes have been suggested; such as lengthy periods playing videogames and watching TV; the decline of talk within the busy modern family; a 21st century media culture centred on the sound-bite; and the lack of role models for people to look up to. The BT Better World Campaign's site is therefore an ideal place to look further into the term active listening web sites.

You will soon see that the BT Better World Campaign web site includes a wealth of material assembled so you'll discover how to get more from communication. For young people and chidren there are games that are designed to explain the principles of good communication in an entertaining way. Videos and animations show you everything from how to get on better with your friends to how you can perform well in an interview.

Teachers are catered for by support material for the part of the curriculum devoted to speaking and listening. You'll also find details of the financial awards that BT offers to schools. Last but by no means least, parents are catered for, with a section of the site called 'parent radio' dedicated to advice for those faced with some of the trickier aspects of being a parent. In addition to online activities, you'll find a wide range of literature and DVDs that you can request for no more than the price of the packing and post.
