You'll find that at BT we're passionate about communication - surely life's most vital skill. The ability to communicate well lies at the very centre of being a winning employee, parent, citizen and student. And it's because of this that we've resolved to make absolutely sure that the UK's young people have the opportunity to develop their speaking and listening skills and build a solid foundation for their future.

Numerous studies have shown that being able to express yourself clearly, and with equal clarity to understand what others are expressing is a vital thing to be able to do. Having good interpersonal communication skills is definitely linked with affirmative social behaviour, mental and physical well-being, educational progress, and ultimately employability. The result is that this is a good place to continue your study*.

However, research also indicates that the need for the development of communication skills is greater these days than it has ever been before. Several possible reasons have been suggested; too much time watching TV and playing videogames for example; the absence of communication within many of today's busy families; a 21st century culture which may appear to undervalue dialogue; and the shortage of positive role models in society. The BT Better World Campaign site is recommended as a source to look further into the term developing good communication skills.

You will soon see that the BT Better World Campaign web site includes a wealth of material designed to help you get the most 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 succeed at an interview.

If you're a teacher you'll find information to support the speaking and listening element of the national curriculum. There's also help for those interested in applying for financial awards which schools can apply to receive from BT. Parents are included too, with the section of the site called 'parent radio' devoted to advice about tackling some of the trickier angles of parenting. As well as downloadable activities, there's an extensive range of DVDs and literature which you can order for no more than the price of the packing and post.
