Abstract
Civic education should not only hone knowledge and understanding, but should also be able to empower and familiarize students to be actively involved in life as citizens. Apart from that, civic education must also be able to equip students with the ability to collaborate, because of course in real society various citizenship problems will not be able to be resolved individually. In order to improve collaborative capabilities, civic education can adapt the Living Lab concept. Living Lab is a methodology or approach that presents an open innovation ecosystem in the form of a partnership between stakeholders such as government, academics, private sector/practitioners and society who collaborate to address social and technological dimensions. This research aims to provide an overview of collaborative learning innovation in the form of a living lab applied in civic education. This research is a literature review with documents, books and journals as data sources. The research results show that by presenting collaboration-based learning through a living lab, it will be able to create interaction between individuals and be able to familiarize students with being actively involved outside the school or campus environment.
