Communication involves interacting with others and allowing for a message to be received, expressed, and understood in multiple ways and for a variety of purposes.
The competency of communication facilitates the acquisition, development, and transformation of ideas and information as well as the awareness, understanding, management, and expression of emotions. It allows one to make connections with others, share ideas, express individuality, deepen learning, and celebrate accomplishments. Communication develops the ability and capacity to navigate personal, local, and global perspectives, and societal and cultural contexts.
Communication is fundamental to connecting to others and sharing/thinking about ideas, and to developing one’s identity and sense of belonging.
