The Coady program continued to attract students throughout the 1980s, and by 1989, 1,838 persons from 103 countries had come to Antigonish to study.<\/p>\n

As the programming in the 1970s responded to development priorities emphasizing logical problem-solving models, the 1980s saw the influence of new ideas in social development in the Coady\u2019s educational offerings. Dr. A.A. MacDonald identified a number of key documents in the late seventies which highlighted the limitations of the models in place. Liberation theology in Latin America challenged the Church to take an active role on addressing poverty and injustice. The Declaration of Cocoyoc in 1974 and the Dag Hammarskjold Foundation\u2019s 1975 report brought forth the concept of \u201cbasic needs\u201d, while the Pope Paul VI\u2019s encyclical,\u00a0Populorum Progressio<\/i>\u00a0introduced the phrase \u201cpreferential option for the poor\u201d to theological and development discourse.<\/p>\n

Popular education, inspired by the emancipatory learning theories of Paulo Freire, also grew at this time, and informed the Coady\u2019s existing work in non-formal adult education and community development.<\/p>\n
