You'll find that at BT we're passionate about communication - a skill that's probably the most vital of all. Being an effective communicator is a critical part of being a successful student, employee, parent and citizen. That is why we're fully committed to making absolutely sure that the UK's young people have opportunities to acquire listening and speaking skills and have the stongest possible beginning in life.

A substantial number of research projects have shown that being able to express yourself clearly, and to understand equally clearly what those around you are saying is a crucial life skill. Being good at interpersonal communication is unquestionably connected to educational attainment, acceptable social behaviour, physical and mental well-being, and the ability of an individual to get employment. This is without doubt a good place to carry out your investigation*.

But research equally suggests that the need to support the development of communication skills is of more importance today than it has ever been before. A range of causes have been alluded to; including long periods of time watching TV and playing videogames; the lack of proper conversation within hectic modern families; the short-attention-span culture we live in today; 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 carry out your investigation of the term basic communication activity.

BT's Better World Campaign web site is a treasure-chest of material assembled so you'll discover how to get more from communication. Children and young people will find games that are designed to explain the principles of good communication in ways that are fun and rewarding. Videos and animations explain everything from how you can get the most from your friendships to how to perform effectively in an interview situation.

If you're a teacher you'll find information to support the speaking and listening element of the national curriculum. You'll also find details of the financial awards that BT offers to schools. The site doesn't forget parents either, with a section of the site called 'parent radio' dedicated to hints and tips about tackling a few of the thornier elements of being a good parent. As well as online activities that are immediately accessible, the site holds a catalogue of DVDs and literature that are obtainable for the cost of post and packaging alone.
