Welcome to The Building Brains Tour!
The Building Brains Tour brings Africa’s most beloved cartoon characters and shows directly to kids!
We travel across various regions with our branded Ubongo van and mascots, performing at schools and community centers. In each region we visit, we host weekend festivals where parents and kids can come to play, learn, and interact with our team and character mascots.
