Green Giants - what is it?
At the Heineken Collection, we preserve, collect & share compelling and authentic objects and stories about The HEINEKEN Company, brand & family.
Our stories mainly rely on archival resources, which, though detailed, can often be dry. Oral history, despite potential biases and memory lapses, is essential for preserving the human aspect of our history. It provides the emotional depth that factual accounts often lack.
Oral histories provide rich, firsthand accounts from employees who witnessed key events, offering perspectives that complement our archival resources. By integrating these personal recollections with our archival materials, we ensure a deeper and more nuanced preservation of our legacy.
In comes 'Green Giants', our latest video series in which (former) employees engage in candid conversation about their time at The HEINEKEN Company.
