The Highland Promise - An Gealladh Mòr is a pledge to young people in schools within The Highland Council area that during 2007 they will have the opportunity to take part in activities they might not otherwise have access to across the six strands of culture: arts, sport, heritage, language, science and environment. Young people have played a key role in shaping the options for their school in 2007.
